T1R in the front to pump the water away at highway speeds... Same thing here. My 295/30-19 R888s are on the way. I wont push the car in the rain ever, their is just no point to it.

Wait so is the Tread Ware 80 or 100 and are these made for street use or track only? Also its pretty nuts that you can almost hook up in 1st gear and floor it in 2nd gear without a problem and put down 565rwhp. That must be some insane acceleration. Lastly, when you guys say this is not meant for wet performance does that mean you cant push it in the rain or does the car become dangerous in the rain when using this tire?

i dont think you wanna push your 550+whp car in the rain anyways...
there are ovbious tradeoffs with this tire...its not for everybody ...At those power level having any traction in 2nd is a vast improvement.

IMO i got it because it still have the best threadware rating for a semislick DOT tire that is available in 19s with good availability of sizes...and they look sexy

^Thanks for the responses. How many miles can you get on these tires? As for driving in the rain what I was asking is would you feel comfortable driving at regular speeds in the rain or would this tire even have the possibility of losing grip at regular driving speeds in the rain.

treadwear is 100. i'd say aggressive driving and these will be over in under 5-10k for sure.. unless you baby it.
